Pretty sure that's true and mostly optimistic on the part of the db
replicator which is more in the data path for replication - than say rsync
object replication.
If you look at ssync or ec reconstructor you'll see it's quite possible for
them to trip built in DiskFile quarantine behavior during replication as
well!
I wouldn't say it's "by design" but we've never been shy to quarantine
anytime we encounter invalid data - the storage wsgi servers can quarantine
for example - if you happen to hit the right object at the right time.
Why? ;)
